Primary text

If a buyer believes a sheep with naturally large udders will be a prolific milk producer, they are not granted the option to rescind the sale. The natural physical attribute (large udder) is not exclusively indicative of high milk yield, rendering the buyer's assumption a matter of covetousness (ṭamaʿ) rather than a contractual defect.
